CM Punjab T-Cash Card 2025 – Complete Guide for Cashless Travel

October 6, 2025 Shaukat

Punjab has entered a new digital era of public transport. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has officially launched the T-Cash Card, a smart and rechargeable travel card that will completely change how people travel across Punjab’s cities.

This card is specially made for daily travelers — people who use Metro Buses, Orange Line Trains, Speedo Buses, and Electro Buses.

No more carrying cash. No more standing in ticket lines. Just one simple card — tap it, travel, and enjoy a smooth journey anywhere in Punjab.

A Vision of Digital Punjab

When Maryam Nawaz became the Chief Minister, she promised to bring comfort and technology together for the people of Punjab.

She said in one of her early meetings:

Public transport should be easy, fast, and cashless — no one should suffer because of ticket lines or loose change.

And that’s where the idea of the T-Cash Card was born. It’s part of the Punjab E-Transit System, which connects all major transport services under one smart payment system.

What Exactly Is the CM Punjab T-Cash Card?

The T-Cash Card is a rechargeable smart card that allows passengers to pay their fares digitally for different transport modes.

It’s like your personal travel wallet, but smarter — it not only pays for bus or train rides but can also be used for small financial transactions, just like a debit card.

How It Works

When you travel:

Tap the card at the entry gate
Tap again at the exit gate
The system automatically deducts the exact fare from your card — no need to talk to the conductor or carry cash.

This one card works across:

Metro Bus
Orange Line Train
Speedo Bus
Electro Bus
Other public transport integrated under PMA

Why T-Cash Card Matters – The Real Change for Citizens

For years, passengers complained about buying multiple tickets when switching between Metro and Orange Line.
Many even missed buses because of ticket queues.
But now, all that is history.

With T-Cash Card, travel has become:

Cashless – no need to carry coins or notes
Quick – no waiting for tickets
Smart – one card for all rides
Affordable – only PKR 130 issuance fee

Benefits of T-Cash Card	Description
Time Saving	No more waiting in ticket lines
Safe & Verified	Connected with NADRA for secure use
All-in-One	Works across all Punjab transport systems
Digital Pakistan Vision	First step toward smart city travel
Debit Card Feature	Can be used for shopping and payments too

This small plastic card is a symbol of a big digital shift in Punjab’s transport system.

Who Can Get the T-Cash Card?

The Punjab government has made this facility open for everyone.

Whether you are a student going to college, an office worker traveling daily, or a senior citizen visiting family — you can apply for the card easily. It’s also called student t-cash card as well.
